Why the Hunter Biden fake news story isn’t gaining traction.

[lucas80]

1. It’s bogus
2. The pandemic
3. Rudy is involved
4. Fox is flogging this story this morning, and Tucker fapped to it last night, but the right wing echo chamber has been unable to gain traction and get credible outlets to promote it.

Because CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, NYT, WAPO, Twitter, Facebook are all on team Democrat and they have to protect the precious this close to election day.

The Q folks in my office were all over it this morning. One of the least indoctrinated asked what happened to the Seal Team 6 story from a few weeks ago. The stumbling and bumbling around for an answer was comical.

Always the victim. You play the role well.

 

[BubsFinn]

Just to clarify, what part of the story is bogus? Is it not Hunter's laptop? Are the emails and photos fake? Is the computer repair shop a Russian sleeper cell?
Politico claims that Joe Biden didn't benefit from Hunter's business dealings. That was never the issue. The issue was if Joe Biden used his position as Vice President to benefit his son, and if those benefits came with quid pro quo. And if Joe lied when he claimed to have no knowledge of his son's business dealings. I don't think anyone suggested Joe himself benefited from Hunter's do-nothing job, other than someone else gave Hunter $50k per month instead of Joe.

Why was Joe Biden so involved with the prosecutor getting fired in Ukraine?

This exactly. They don't want to cover it because it will hurt their candidate. Very simple. So simple, even our resident libtards can figure it out.

 

[StormHawk42]

Number 1 reason is the pandemic. Second reason is that the average American doesn’t understand it. Third reason is that 4 years ago, people already didn’t trust Hillary. The Comey letter was just confirming existing biases. Biden doesn’t have the baked in untrustworthiness.

I've got to say, from the way you describe it, this is the nothingest of nothing burgers.

Wall St Journal reporters were pitched this scandal by dumpsters but rejected it as lacking credibility. Nuff said.

 

[Hawk and Awe]

Get used to it. You’ll be hearing about it for the next 4 years. Let’s just hope he doesn’t wear any tan suits.

I think it’s important to listen to these allegations. I don’t know what it would take for the scale to tip for me to support Trump but this is not even close.

So Biden is/has done exactly what they spent 3 years trying to nail Trump for but you are alright with that?

Fact check: Biden leveraged $1B in aid to Ukraine to oust corrupt prosecutor, not to help his son

Despite a Senate GOP investigation that found no wrongdoing by Joe Biden on foreign policy in Ukraine, claims to the contrary continue to circulate.

If we are being honest, Trump has way more issues and wosre things than this Hunter story. Like how he slept with a sleazy porn star and paid her off. Of how his administration has the highest amount of incarcerated staff in Presidential history. Biden is no Saint but Trump supporters trying to call anyone out on moral grounds is laughable at this point.

Go wear your MAGA hat made in China btw.

 

[artradley]

Why was Joe Biden so involved with the prosecutor getting fired in Ukraine?

Because the entire Western World felt the guy was not doing enough to root out corruption, so Biden was coordinating our efforts with our allies to clean things up.

the only thing that is simple is your mind. You continue to prove again and again what a dolt you are. Way to go simple jack, showing us all what a world class moron you are.

This is cute.

But you believe that when the NY Post and Fox News are the only ones banging this particular drum, that the story has legs?

Credible journalist and media organizations have sniffed this “story” and can’t validate the claims.

Let me see if I can help. Joe Biden used his position to "benefit his son". He was the VP and Hunter's last name is Biden. I'm sorry but if there's a problem there, there are a whole hell of a lot of people in trouble. There is zero...less than zero...evidence for any "quid pro quo". I'm not even sure what the insinuation means. And Joe has never "claimed to have no knowledge of his son's business dealings". He said he never got involved in them but, I think, you would have to admit that he would know who his son was working with and for. In regard to the Chinese deal that wasn't, even the WSJ said that in a review of the records they could find no evidence that Joe was involved in any way.

Hope that assuages your concerns.

 

[Hawk and Awe]

I said it’s important to listen. I’m not “alright” with corruption....

You know what though? If it turned out we know everything there is to know about the worst stuff Trump has done I would still do anything to get rid of him. He is bad for our country, Joe Biden will be better. Not a great bumper sticker, but its the nightmare we live in

That doesn't explain why the Wall Street Journal who is team Republican by any stretch won't run it.

Every credible journalist that see's this won't touch it. The world isn't out to get you. Not all journalists are Democrats. Journalists just report credible facts and this isn't one of those things.

Trump has made that claim repeatedly.

 

[sober_teacher]

Why was Joe Biden so involved with the prosecutor getting fired in Ukraine?

Because the Ukrainian AG was corrupt, and Biden as VP, along with nearly every country in Western Europe, wanted the guy fired. Cons keep trying to argue Biden wanted to fire him for investigating his son's company. In actuality, 1) Biden was acting as a part of US foreign policy, he didn't maverick on this and 2) him working to get this guy fired actually ENSURED Burisma would be investigated.

Also, the stuff Burisma was being investigated for happened prior to Hunter getting there. He still should have known better, but no, there's nothing there.

As far as the laptop...there's just way too many questions to take the story seriously. Why would Hunter, when he lives in CA, take a laptop to some computer repair shop in Delaware? Why are we to believe the shop owner - who happens to be legally blind and there's no security video to confirm, that Hunter dropped off the laptop himself? Why, did the repair owner just happen to make a copy of everything prior to informing the FBI? For that matter, if this is as damning as Rudy/Trump/Fox claim, why has nothing been released by the FBI? Why did the shop owner give the data to Rudy of all people? and so on...

the fact that op has brought it up on hrot- tells me all I need to know

No they aren’t. Every one of those corporations wants Trump to win because that outcome would make them more money. Learn how capitalism works.

It was his job.

We don’t use that word. Be best.

lol

that is in the job description? interesting

 

[damayason]

The story doesn't gain traction because of four years of Trump.

Corruption doesn't matter.
Incompetence doesn't matter.
Lying doesn't matter.

Cons have had four years to hold Trump accountable. Good luck trying to hold Biden accountable on innuendo.

this has been my point. there is a double standard. we will still vote for trump though because of the economy. biden and obama had a horrible economy under obama. so sleeze plus good economy is a winner. sleeze plus obamanomics is a loser.

Tell me the absolutele worse version of this story based on the evidence provided and I'll see if I can find a worse story for Trump.

Doesn't matter. They have the but kn excuse that Trump is not a politician he's just the president so nothing ge said before matters and nothing he says or does now is prosecutable.
